Ray Bradbury’s 50 Year Old Collection Gets a Starred Review in Publishers Weekly
Given how many books are released each month, it’s always gratifying when Publishers Weekly gives coverage to a Subterranean Press title. This week’s issue we feel even more charmed. Our new edition of Ray Bradbury’s Golden Apples of the Sun is not only reviewed in the December 10 issue, it received a coveted star. As PW notes, “A half century after its initial appearance, Bradbury’s fourth published book remains vivid and memorable. The original table of contents is restored (under Joe Mugnaini’s iconic original cover art), with Bradbury’s familiar and characteristically wistful, dreamy fantasy, such as ‘The April Witch,’ a haunting tale of teenage dream-traveler Cecy and her desperate desire for romance, mingling with brilliant science fiction like the title story and the widely reprinted ‘A Sound of Thunder.’” In addition to the classic tales, the SubPress edition of Golden Apples is printed in two colors throughout, and rounded out by play versions of “The Fog Horn” and “En La Noche.” The latter PW says “succeeds on page or stage, like most Bradbury, as a story of human sensitivities.”
